Bill Haisten says James Washington has been ‘Odell Beckham Jr. Good – twice.’

Just a year ago, James Washington was the young freshman getting all the camp hype. Now, it appears nothing has changed except the year. Just a week into fall camp, and Washington is already garnering comparisons to NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

#okstate Most interesting practice thus far. A lot of guys were good. James Washington was Odell Beckham Jr. good — twice.

Not sure Washington knows he can use both hands to catch a pass. https://t.co/0KkghYMkCk

This could be why: He torched a pretty solid Washington defense in last season’s bowl finale in Tempe with a one-handed snag.

Washington had 6 touchdown snags to go along with nearly 500 all-purpose yards last season. If Washington is Odell Beckham Jr. good in fall camp, what can we expect during the regular season?

As Carson Cunningham pointed out, this is another great example of Mike Gundy doing his thing in recruiting.

All the guy does is make plays. What a find from Gundy & Co. He played at a 1A (!) Texas high school. https://t.co/fdNakieqMa

Maybe it isn’t fair to thrust such lofty comparisons on a young man who is just headed into his second season in Stillwater. But can you imagine seeing this in #Rudolph2Washington form?
